Primrose Hill is a hill of 213 ft located at the northern end of Regent's Park and the name was given to the surrounding district. The hill summit has a clear view of central London, as well as Hampstead and Belsize Park to the north and was adorned by an engraved quotation from William Blake, which seems to be missing? |

On 21 June 2009, a plaque was laid on the top of
Primrose Hill to mark the site of the first meeting of the "Gorsedd
of Bards of the Island of Britain" in its modern form and to commemorate
its founder, Iolo Morganwg. The Gorsedd of the Bards of
the Isle of Britain is a society of poets, writers, musicians, artists
and individuals. William Blake may have been a founder memb |

Two Temple Place was originally designed as William Waldorf Astor’s estate office by one of the foremost neo-Gothic architects of the late nineteenth-century, John Loughborough Pearson. Astor had emigrated to England in 1891 as, arguably, the richest man in the world and no expense was spared when work began in 1892. In addition to the extraordinary, opulent interior, when it was finished in 1895, Two Temple Place contained the largest strong room in Europe as well as two other enormous fortified safes. |
